Unable to Check Out SVN Folders
Hello there,
I'd like to check out a number of SVN folders, but with each one I run into
an error where after checking out a few documents, it stalls, and then
gives me this error:
*Checkout Failed!*
*Error: Error running context: An existing connection was forcibly closed
by the remote host*
When I delete the folder and give it another try, sometimes it will get
through more documents, sometimes it gets through less, but it never
actually finishes. I have tried using different internet connections, but
get consistent errors.
Very new to Subversion Edge and would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Cam

I too have seen this error several times and I am convinced it happens in the presence of an unreliable network. The network I am using is very unreliable so this problem is seen from time to time. When it happens the checkout has to be cleaned, then if the command is tries again it usually works.

Hello,
We've had various reports with this error message over the years. The cause is usually a server side or network issue, but there doesn't seem to be a common theme of one particular cause. Causes have ranged from anything from antivirus software to network configurations to firewalls to old versions of SVN on the server. If you search for the exact text of the error message in our mailing list archives (see [1], you'll find discussions and (hopefully) what fixed it for different people. There's also the StackOverflow question at [2].
You mentioned that you are using Subversion Edge. Do you know whether the version of Subversion Edge on the repository server is the latest available?
From your screenshot it appears you are using TortoiseSVN on the client (your computer). What version of TortoiseSVN are you using?
Also do you know whether you're going through a proxy?
Is the repository server on the same LAN as your client computer, or across a VPN, or...?
When you say it stalls, is there a noticeable delay? Approximately how long (seconds? minutes?)
Cheers,
Nathan

I haven't tried, but I don't think so. This question (since it concerns
usage of a specific client) can probably be better answered in the
TortoiseSVN forums.

Thank you for your response. Hopefully I have some helpful information
prepared.
1. The version of Subversion on our server is 1.8.19-4419.51 and I think
that is the latest version. I'm seeing it says no new software updates are
available.
2. Yes, I am using TortoiseSVN. The version of TortoiseSVN on my client
is 1.14.0.28885. (I see that there is an update available - 1.14.3.29387)
3. No proxy is used!
4. I have attempted the checkout while on the same LAN as the repository
server and also over VPN, but unfortunately seeing consistent results.
5. This delay is seconds in duration. Maybe 5 - 10.
Is there a way to commit new versions of a doc already in SVN through the
repo browser?
Please let me know what other questions you have! Thanks again for your
time.

The gods only know. You've not stated what kind of server is involved,
nor any hint of whether the repo has huge commits nad may be timing
out, nor whether there is an intervening proxy. Such vagaries of
Apache bsed Subversions are one reason I prefer SSH based access. Can
you use svn+ssh?
